RE: looking for a cheap 55" TV, any I should avoid? Is there a recommended brand?

I'd avoid the Apex, Polaroid, Element, there's a few more, can't recall.But be aware, some cheap brands have no program guide at all. I havea fairly new 32" Magnavox (bedroom) has a great picture, about as good as my plasma....but no guide, no time readout, no program description.This only matters if you only use over-the-air broadcasts.
